MANILA, Philippines — The Commission on Elections gave aspirants in the 2022 national elections until the end of January to register their official accounts and websites with the poll body.

The Comelec En Banc issued Resolution 10748 amending its earlier directive on the implementation of the Fair Election Act, which also detailed the use of internet, mobile and social media in the campaign.

In its latest directive, the poll body said registered political party/coalitions and candidate shall register with the Comelec’s Education and Information Department their official accounts, websites, blogs and/or social media pages, "which are already verified upon registration, and also those that will be verified subsequent to registration." This is if the said accounts will be used for endorsement of their candidacies.
